THQ To Close Its Doors

Its entirely possible that whatever games the studios were working will be picked up by another publisher.

I too have my doubts on this report, but for different reasons :(

Uhm... if a developer is shutting doors they should advertise their IPs even more in hope another company takes them after they announce closing doors. That would make sense.

THQ is one developer I never actully bought a game from. But its still sad to see another great name in the industry go out. (if this article is true!)

It does seem unlikely, but then again, it seemed unlikely that Bungie would split from Microsoft before...you know...they did.

It just goes to emphasize the great importance of strong 1st-party and 2nd-party support this gen. You just can't rely on 3rd parties anymore.

that would be sad.. maybe what they should have done was spunked 50 billions dollar away on the subprime and CDS market and then they would have got bailed out by the US government...

their problem was they didn't lose enough money to be eligible for the TARP bailout.

GrieverSoul: I think there's a difference between saying "This IP has sold very well" and "You will see more of this IP."

It's not really that big of a deal. I mean, they're not a company to be missed, really. They crap out shovelware and licensed games. They won't really be missed by any real gamers. And before responding, view this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

They only have a few really notably good releases, namely Saint's Row, de Blob, and STALKER (which was PLAGUED with so many glitches and bugs that parts of it were unplayable, and totally underdelivered on what it promised).

I don't really care about THQ going under, as long as I get more de Blob.

As long as they release Legends of wrestlemania in March i am happy.
That game got a simplefied control scheme, ala Smackdown 4/5.

Also it has Wrestlers in it that would never be in a regular smackdown.
So far even the Ultimate warrior is confirmed to be in the game.

Whats with all the THQ hate? They released the Company of Heroes series (with a second expansion on the way) along with all the Warhammer 40k Dawn of War series (it has what, 3 or 4 expansions?).

CoH is probably my favorite RTS of all time, so it is pretty silly to say they don't have or have ever released good games.

Without any good games? Iunno about you but personally I think the Warhammer 40k, Company of Heroes and Saint Row series are pretty good, not to mention other gems such as Rise of Nations and Red Faction.

COH is what a rts game should be, play that online and you will know what I am talking about. When one game online can last for hours on end and keep you interested, thats a good game in my book. Now if someone could remake Dune 2000, coh replaced it as my favorite rts.

I doubt that closing a publisher would destroy a series, i bet theres plenty of companies that would buy its license.
